animatrix: kid's story

this one follows the story of a kid who is questioning everything and thinks there is something more beyond this world. he is in school and all kinds of agents start coming after him, he tries to run and eventually jumps off the top of the school building saying that he believes. an interesting little story that deals with the implication of teens who always feel like the world is against them. the story does a good job of allowing us to feel his pain and paranoia, and ultimately see where that leads him. this one even features the voice work of keanu reaves and carrie anne moss. another cool note is that this kid actually shows up in the matrix sequels and plays a fairly important part in them- nice tie in!
